Style :
Sunil Das' style of work is very original and shows no specific influence. He had risen to fame like MF Hussain with his famous paintings of horses, to the extent that he was nicknamed 'Ghora Das' ( Hindi which means Horse Das)
Like Hussain, Sunil Das was inspired by the force and strength of the moving horse. The horses and the bull ( inspired from his visit to Spain and witnessing the Bull Fighting ) have appeared more than 7000 times in Das’s works. He has otherwise painted haunting pictures of women thereby revealing the dark side of people who are otherwise considered beautiful. His works on the Red Light of Kolkata , was also much lauded and brings about an important social message through his works.
Das's main mediums could easily be Oil On Canvas , His Stimulating and Stirring works in Mixed Media , Conte , Charcoal ,Serigraphy , Wood Works , Sculptures . Whatever medium he worked on , he effortlessly mastered.
Not one to be stuck to one style , Das experimented and worked on various series and mediums. His works involves the quick use of the brush and pen to create master pieces that have a dynamic effect , potent with power.
